It’s a special replay of the interview Tom did with The Amazing Johnathan from this past May on this week’s show. Johnathan just had a new documentary released on Hulu this past week, so we thought it was time. Not that there wasn’t another documentary released in the spring, but we won’t worry about that now. They’re both fascinating, as is this interview. If you missed it before, or are listening again, enjoy!
